Atlanta Braves

The Atlanta Braves are a historic Major League Baseball franchise, tracing their origins back to 1871, making them the oldest continuously operating professional sports team in North America. But their story is truly defined by their time in the South. 

 

The Braves are the team of "Hammerin' Hank" Aaron, who broke Babe Ruth's legendary home run record in Atlanta in 1974. 

 

They are the team of the dominant 1990s dynasty, which featured one of baseball's greatest-ever pitching rotations: Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz, led by Hall of Famer Chipper Jones. And they are the champions of 2021, proving the power of their new generation.
